Neil Hodgson - Honda Racing CBR 1000RR Superbike
The former British Superbike rider and double World Superbike Champion Neil Hodgson, has been left without a ride for the 2010 season after the Corona Extra Honda Race Team pulled out of the AMA championship with immediate effect.
The team announced the news at the weekend saying;
“Corona Extra Honda race team participated in this series with our award-winning 2009 CBR1000RR in the AMA Superbike class, unfortunately participation in this series did not meet our racing goals and objectives.
Regrettably the current AMA/DMG racing environment does not align with our company goals. Effective today 9/18/09, AHM will not be renewing contracts with Corona Extra Racing and will be terminating the on-site Road Race operations by 9/30/09. All assets will be put into storage for future consideration.”
Hodgson is rumoured to be looking at returning to the British Superbike series after being spotted in and out of the pit garages at round ten of the Championship at Croft.
Hodgson said of his visit;
“I’m here to see about getting a job in the BSB next year. I really want to finish my career here in the UK instead of America and thought it would be best to come to a round, see the racing and speak to a few people. The crowd here is big, the grid full and the racing good, who wouldn’t want to be a part of something like this?
Healthwise I’m nearly back to full fitness. Earlier this year I had a big crash in America which broke all my ribs, punctured a lung and effectively tore my left arm away from my body, but now I’m feeling good and have my sights set on BSB again.”
